I was given my grandfather's fountain pen set for Christmas and I'm look for information on the pen as well as how I might get it back into working order.
The ink bladder dry rotted and fell apart in my hands but the lever still functions. I have not done any real cleaning (out of fear of causing damage since I am new to this). The pencil is in full working order.
If you can offer any help, I would greatly appreciate it. I would love to have this set working again as a connection to the grandfather I never knew. My father is interested in an approximate date of production so he might identify how/why my grandfather received the set.
Thank you for any guidance you can offer!http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20161229/8a4ea90b2bd052cb24a5c679731f99ca.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20161229/4f463b9cfb0e3867d044be12531558c1.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20161229/8ee7c902f68f4daf4bbffa50efa838a3.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20161229/fb261a712da9da3cc1d766bf77365834.jpg
